How to express
the simple future tense
FORM USAGE
will/shall do 表示将来发生的动作或出现的状态, shall仅与第一人称连用
be going to do 表示主语计划打算的行动
或看来就要发生的事情
be doing 表示计划或安排好的动作(go, come, leave, begin等动词)
The Usage of the Simple Future Tense
FORM USAGE
be to do 表示客观上计划或安排好
的动作
be about to do 表示即将发生的动作,
一般不带时间副词或短语
do 表示与安排,计划或时刻表有关的动作;或用于if, when等状语从句中代替will do.
Tom won’t cut the grass.
Tom won’t be cutting the grass.
Let's compare!
Tom refuses to cut the grass.
The sentence is only a statement of
fact, giving no information about Tom’s
intention. Perhaps Tom is away, or ill, or will be doing some other job.
The simple future tense expresses a future action with intention.
The future continuous tense expresses a future action as a statement of fact.
The future continuous (将来进行时)
结构:助动词shall/ will +be+现在分词。
shall用于第一人称单、复数; will用于各种人称。
e.g. Our work will end in March. We will/shall be returning to New York.
用法
1. 表示将来某一时刻或某一段时间里正在进行的动作。
e.g. We will be seeing a fashion show
this time tomorrow afternoon.
2. 代替一般将来时(口语中),使语言生动形象。用法如下:
1) 预料将要发生的动作或情况。
e.g. The train will be arriving soon.
2) 表示现已决定或安排将要做的事。
e.g. Doctor Smith will be giving
another talk on family health
at the same time next week.
3. 表示预料不久要发生或势必要发生的
事情或将来的某种可能性,料想、估计的含义。如:
We believe that peasants’ life will be
getting better and better.
我们相信农民的生活会越来越好。
If we don’t do so, we shall be making a
serious mistake.
如果我们不那样做,我们就会犯严重的
错误。
4. 表示亲切或委婉的语气。
e.g. When shall we be meeting again
我们什么时候再见面?
5. 表示现在或未来一个动作之后接着的
另一个动作,前后两个动作是根据安
排紧接着进行的。
e.g. Bob is leaving school in July, and
then he’ll be going to university.
6. 表示婉转口气,表达有礼貌的询问或请求。
e.g. Will you be having some tea
Will you be lending me your
dictionary
注意: 将来进行时可以与be going to连用。
e.g. I’m going to be working all day
tomorrow, so I won’t have time to
buy Mother’s present.
将来进行时常用的时间状语有soon, tomorrow, this evening, on Sunday, by this time tomorrow, in two days, tomorrow evening等。
e.g. By this time tomorrow, I’ll be lying
on the beach.
将来进行时与现在进行时
1. 现在进行时表示一种经过考虑的、将来要进行的动作, 而将来进行时通常表示正常过程中会发生的动作,因此将来进行时不如现在进行时那样肯定,比后者偶然性要大一些:
e.g. I am seeing Tom tomorrow.
I’ll be seeing Tom tomorrow.
第一句意指汤姆或说话人已经特意安排了这次会面;
第二句意指汤姆和说话人将在日常进程中见面。
这种差别并不是在任何情况下都很重要,常常两者都可以使用。
He’ll be taking his exam next week.
也可以说:
He is taking his exam next week.
He won’t be coming to the party.
也可以说:
He isn’t coming to the party.
2. 现在进行时常用于表示不远的将来动作,必须有确定的时间;
将来进行时可以和确定时间状语连用,也可以不连用;既可以表示不远的将来的动作,也可表示较远的将来。
e.g. We are meeting him tomorrow.
We will be meeting him tomorrow/ next year. (将来进行时)
